Trip to Coorg - Day 2

Our next day that is second day trip started. We vacated the
cottage from coorg and started with our car. The place is mandalpatti where we
are yet to travel. We never heard of the place before. So, we were not that
much excited. We started with a mindset of seeing another place in our itenary.
After having our breakfast, we started from our vehicle. Driver stopped the car
near the place where we turned for Abbey falls. He said, mandalpatti needs to
be reached by jeep as the road is not so proper there. Hence, we got down from
car, got a jeep and made our self comfortable. My son was excited as this was
the first time he is getting into a jeep.

Jeep started. Road was so steep. I was afraid at first.
Then, as it went on, the climate, mountains all made me to enjoy. It’s a place to
enjoy and feel the fragrance of nature.

Here are some of the pics taken from mandalpatti.

Wow. How wonderful is our nature. This place is mainly for
film spot. Many songs were taken here it seems. But, we were not aware of it
till we reached there.

With no interest, we returned to our vehicle. The next place
is Omkareshwarar temple. There we had a good darshan. Then, we started to Raja’s
seat. This place is under renovation. Though the park was all opened for
tourist, many works were going on for renovation. View point was also good there.

For kids, separate small park was there with a little train
running. My son had good time with that train.

Then, we started to see Kaveri
Nisargama dam. This place has a good fly over bridge, for walking, on top of
river cauveri.

Lot of stalls were there for hand craft items, chocolates and
ladies accessories. I don’t want to get scolding from my husband for shopping again
as I did previous day itself. So, controlling my temptation, I wandered along
with them. But there was no proper sign board. Even the people who were having
stores there could not guide the tourist properly. Also, there were some
language problem. We could see lot of boards here and there saying deer park,
animals zoo and all. But no one to guide us there. Even if we walk for some
meters, we could see a dead end. So, we had no way other than to return from
there.

With this, coorg completed and we are travelling back to
mysore. On the way to Mysore, we have golden temple which is a tibetian monastery
of lord budha. Temple was maintained so calm and neat. We did meditation for a
while there. Mind was in peace and we loved being there for some time.

We heard
some sound of drums after some time. Prayer started. Their prayer is very
different. Everyone had a plate in their hand. In that plate, all had different
items of food. One had milk, one had mirinda, other had bread like that. All after
prayer, they were dropped in dust bin. We could not figure out what is the idea
behind it. Also some different instruments were played and they were praying
lord in their language. I was interested to be there and see their prayer for a
while. But, as we need to reach mysore, we need to start from there on time.

We reached a hotel from Golden temple where we settled down
for the day, a tiresome and an awesome day. Driver completed that day itenary
and asked us to be ready by 7 in the next day morning. Next day is to explore
the places in Mysore.
